I um... don't know what the rules are here or if I'm allowed to make a
greeting topic... but... hi.
I also don't know how many... serious... dragons are here... but...
*sighs* I guess I came here searching. The idea of even considering
myself something I'm not terrifies me to no end, especially with my
conservative Christian background, and my whole mind screams at me that
what I'm doing right now is insane and I'm just digging myself into a
hole by doing this... *pauses* *breathes*
But not too long ago I was crying because I could feel my wings unfurl,
the flight muscles of my body moving to do so, but it was a shadow of a
feeling and I ached for their existance despite how impossible it was.
I didn't even get to the flying part--I just wanted the wings, wanted
to move them, couldn't...
I can feel my tail lashing when I think about it... I crave meat, and
always root for the predator in nature shows. During the cold, when I
leave in a thin coat and watch the snow fall, the sight of my breath
coming out in silver wisps like dragon smoke excites me... Every bird
egg I find I take home, my motherly instincts rising for them more than
even a newborn puppy.
.... A girl that met me once named me dragoness, and it spread quickly.
I write about dragons, read about dragons, draw them and dream of them.
My heart stopped once when I realized that if dragons truly do exist,
which I believe, then I'll find them in heaven...
Such beautiful... wonderful creatures...
*pauses, clears throat* I don't know... I just don't. But I found a
website that described this community once, several years ago, and
never joined, and it's haunted me all this time. And here I am come
back as a member... shy, uncertain, frightened, but a member
nonetheless.

Respect others.
Please keep posts PG-13.
Have fun!
That's about it, really. :)

If you're not, an awful lot of us have broken the rules already. A warm
welcome to the Wang Toodle of Dragons -- I hope you enjoy your stay!

Ask questions, think about the answers and what you feel yourself.
There's nothing wrong with a bit of introspection, provided one can do
something positive with the results.
I hope you find what you're looking for here.

On 12 Jun 2006, draganie was found to have scratched this message on a
rock in alt.fan.dragons:

Rule # 1: Be yourself.
Rule # 2: Don't try to stay on topic, you'll go insane.
Rule # 3: Try to keep your posts in the G to PG-13 range.
Rule # 4: Please quote what you're replying to, otherwise nobody knows
what you're talking about.
Rule # 5: Please don't top post, for the same reasons as Rule # 4.
> I also don't know how many... serious... dragons are here... but...
If you want a quick glance, look at our DragonCodes. (That's the bit at
the bottom of messages that starts with "DC2.") Look for an R with some
characters after it, either plus signs, minus signs, exclamation points.
For example, mine is R+++!. This means that I am as much a dragon as
one can get. Less plus signs indicate either a lesser conviction, or
more fun. But everyone, no matter who or what or how strong or how
un-dragon-like is welcome here, you don't even need a DragonCode.

The only way to uncover what is buried is to dig. Even sonar and radar
can only give you an idea of where to dig, you have to actually dig to
be sure.
And we have Christian dragons here. I don't happen to be one, but if
you're having issues with Christianity (or any other religion) and
dragons (or any other otherkin), just ask, and someone will try to help.

Everyone feels that from time to time. Some more so than others. I
tend not to feel my wings, per se, but I do feel my wing muscles
cramping from stretching them.

Not being female, I can't help with the mothering bit. But I have an
affiliation with reptiles myself, despite not being one. I find them
incredibly cute, and yes, I consider them cuter than puppies, too.

No, you won't find them in heaven. At least, not yet. But look around,
they're all around you, even if you can't always see them. You can,
however, feel them all the time.
> Such beautiful... wonderful creatures...
I can't really expand on this, since it's simple and true!!

Nothing here to be frightened of. We don't bite, unless we're asked to.
I, myself, and shy and somewhat reserved in real life. I suffered from
depression, and still do, and it took everything I had, every ounce of
courage and strength I could muster, to tell a mental health
professional who I really was. But eventually, it gets easier,
especially here. Nobody here will ever deride you (except, of course,
trolls, but they deride everyone), or yell at you, or call you a coward,
or tell you to get your head out of the clouds, or anything like that.
This is a community of support, love, and understanding. This is the
only place I know of where people are accepted for who they are, and not
shunned for who they're not.
Shy or not, you made a big step in posting here. Know that you're never
alone any more. We're always here, in spirit even if not typing at the
moment. If you ever need anything, just ask, and we'll do our best to
supply it.
For example, I'm asking that I stop babbling and burying the newbie
under way too much information, so this is the end of my post. };=8Þ

Welcome welcome to the Dominance. There are more dragons here than when the
group was created back on Dec. 12 1991 (93?), and ever since the first
appearence, we've dominated this group. *Smiles*

You'll come to accept it eventually. Then the real battle begins when you try
to tell /another/.

Oh gods I want my wings, claws, tail, and teeth back. And not even to use
them, just to HAVE.
Though, as Pyros' .sig once stated (still states?), "Though scales protect many
times better than flesh, if I were to show my true self, I would be
vuanerable."

I have had similar but less defined feelings about the wings, but even
in primary school (16-22 yrs ago) I have had very real dreams about
flying. Even now I can still feel the sense of weightlessness and
complete freedom when I think about it. It is still a great and
wonderful feeling.

Most of my books are about dragons, even one on dragon magic called
'Dancing With Dragons'

Wow... that means a lot, an awful lot. The idea of others actually
understanding... Thank you. And I hope I can return such a favor
someday.

Wow, you felt such things that early? When I was little I only ran
around acting like a velociraptor, 'hunting' creatures and
wrestling with my siblings; 'burrowed' in a big old tire; and made
nests in closets and the back of my car. The sensation and desire to
fly didn't come until my mid' teens.

Haha, you played velocoraptor too? I used to do that, running around
in the back yard all hunched over with my arms tucked up against my
chest, screeching and growling and chasing my little brother. ^_^ But I
can't even remember when I first started longing to fly. I'm always
uncomfortable when I think about my tail and horns and especially my
wings, because I know they should be there, but they're not! So
frustrating... Sometimes I grow my fingernails out really long so that
I have claws, but they break too easily.
Anyway, hi, and sorry for not being in the first group to reply, but
welcome to... uh, this place. *still hasn't decided which name to call
it by*
Never be afraid to talk about something here, no matter how bizzare and
crazy it seems to you. If you are crazy, then so are the rest of us,
so either way, at least you're not alone! ^_~

A friend of a friend is building a christian dragon site, and when it is done,
I will post a ling (or my friend will, or the webmaster himself).

Indeed. Although I might sometimes append it with something to the effect of,

We're a fairly welcoming bunch, by and large. :)
>I hope I'm not 'top posting' right now o_o;; I don't know how to do
>it, so I don't know how to avoid it ><;;
Top posting is writing your comment at the beginning of a post, with all
previous material in a big chunk underneath. You're not doing that, so
you're fine. :)
Outlook Express is the main reason top-posting became common, since
since it puts the cursor at the top of a post rather than underneath
quoted material, but by the looks of it you're posting from Google
Groups, which does seem to structure things properly.

Nah. Don't worry. People should be respected for being different, even

Nonsense... Modern Christianity is mostly based on thousand year old
Pagan and Roman symbols with essential rituals "re-written" so it
wouldn't seam so alien at the time. So, I seen no reason how or why
Draconian beliefs have to clash with your current religion.
So you ARE a Christian Dragon, I can live with that.

Better to have wings that don't fly then and wanting to fly but
realizing the impossibility... Ah, but living as a wingless lizard
isn't as bad as it seams. One tends to live on far less AND have a
little more strength then the norm. But, maybe that is just me.

Just like you did. Find the relevant part of the post, and post your
reply under it. And nice job on the snipping of the irrelevant
materials. This keeps the message from getting too big and bulky.

I was going through a severe bout of depression, and feeling decidedly
suicidal. I had just told my parents almost everything, and they acted
as if I was making everything up. I'm sure now that it's just their way
of trying to deal with something they're not prepared to deal with, but
at the time I was severely wounded, mentally and emotionally.
Long story short, I was prescribed a medication that I was told would
help me sleep as a side effect, and that it did. But what they didn't
tell me, what I found out afterwards, is that they thought I had
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder over dragons, and the medication they gave
me was intended to counteract OCD. Little did they know that it would
work as well as it did. I'm now obsessing less over my human host than
I was, and am able to concentrate more on who I truly am, the dragon
inside.

One day, when another newbie comes in, shy, uncomfortable talking,
perhaps having religious qualms, you'll hopefully feel good enough about
yourself and your position Here to help them along. And if that never
happens, either because someone new doesn't come along, or because you
don't feel you can help, no worries. Sometimes just being there can
help.

Yes, that's what they are. The tongue-sticking-out one is actually
extended ASCII, alt-0222 on a Windows system, in case you want to steal
it. It works well with other emoticons, too, so long as your
application or font supports extended ASCII.

Even if there is, does it matter? You aren't the bible. You try to
follow it to the best of your abilities, sure, but it doesn't dictate
your life. One of the few things I know about Christianity is that
their god gave his people free will, and I find it hard to believe that
an entity would give its worshippers something only to deny them that in
their next breath.....

Top posting is posting a reply at the top of a message. True, you
started your message at the top, before any quoted text, but that was
well done, as an introduction, and a general reply to everything before
specific replies to specific portions of quoted text, which you
correctly posted under (or bottom posted).
See Draco18s's witty (or at least, he thinks so };=8Þ) response to my
response to your original message to see an example of top posting and
the answer to why it's difficult to follow along.

It's like an up-side-down cake, but it is done in a Dutch Oven.
It's an old Boy Scout tradition to call suck confections "Dump Cakes"
because of the way in which they are prepared. I had a good

God, or the gods, made you as you are. Never forget that. If you are a
dragon, then you were meant to be a dragon, and nothing said by the
Bible or any other holy book can change that.

Oh, indeed, I'd be happier if I lived longer in my TrueForm than just a

Never be embarrassed of your background, without it you wouldn't be the

The closest I've yet come to matching the feeling of having my wings is
to go out on my bike... though I did manage to wrench my back a bit on
Tuesday when one of my wings got caught in the door at the convenience
store up the street, but at least I got it so folks don't tread on my
tail anymore.

There's nothing to fear here, what you give out you get back threefold.
I've made a few friends here, even as standoffish as I am.
Bear in mind that anything anyone could say to you is just words on a
screen, they only have whatever strength you give them and when you try
to decide just how much strength to give them... always consider the source.

He/she was asking about how many serious dragons there are Here, and you
said "A lot. It's why it's called AFD."
